St. James I think liked Hudson more than he liked her. They weren't pals but spoke very well of each other, especially Susan about Rock. She and Nancy Walker had a contract dispute and left the show; although Hudson was very close to Nancy Walker, he didn't seem to fight for either one of them to stay. Not only did Susan nurse her baby on the set, which drove Hudson nuts, but she pushed her vegetarian regime on everyone. He said in an interview that he hadn't seen her, but she had sent him photos of the children.
Well, every show has inconsistencies but no show had inconsistencies like McMillan & Wife.
The reason the first pregnancy was dropped because Rock Hudson objected to it and didn't want it in the story. They never do say what happened to that first pregnancy.
The second time, he sort of got his way because once she had the baby, it disappeared.
It was a boy.
Rock Hudson apparently didn't get along all that well with Susan St. James. He was livid when she got pregnant and even more livid when she brought the baby on the set and nursed.
Mildred left to run a diner - which was an in-joke because she was Rosie in the paper towel commercials.
